acidic drinks guide

If you drink acidic drinks frequently, you are at risk of eroding the enamel on your teeth and causing dental decay. To minimise any possible damage limit your intake of acidic drinks – pH 7 is neutral. Any figure lower than this is acidic. The lower the number the more acidic, and therefore, damaging the drink may be.

Try to drink mainly still water if possible.

Dilute fresh fruit juices/diluting juices as much as possible.

Try and limit fizzy juices/herbal teas and other drinks below pH 3.9 to one glass/can per day if possible
